Donut Sunday praise

Last Sunday, we had Donut Sunday - Life without God is like a Donut. We served 100 J Co Donuts - Delicious! Thanks to the volunteers who went to buy the donuts, served them and made coffee/ tea and drinks for our guests.

Alex did a great job leading the band through a story describing how great is our Creator.

I preached from the verse :

He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to the end." Ecclesiastes 3:11

The truth is, at the very core of man - there's eternity set in our hearts. Why else does the temporal world promises so much, but fail to deliver? Because temporal things (however good and useful and pleasurable they are ) could never fill an eternal void that only an eternal God can fill.

"There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus."- Blaise Pascal

We were created by God to have a relationship with Him for eternity. There's only 1 response - to invite God into our hearts to start the relationship and live our life in light of eternity.

We saw 2 people gave their lives to Jesus. The whole heaven rejoices! And another 2 whom indicated they really want to know God. Life without God is like a Donut - it's empty in the middle.

I'm excited about what God is going to do in our midst the remaining of this year! C80!

This Sunday, 5pm starting a series - Rich God, Poor God (what kind of God do you have?)
